"How many moments of reckoning does Australia need before we realize that we need to start sooner? “We should be raising young people to fundamentally believe and act in ways that are respectful towards each other. "I'm sure that millions of Australians right now, especially Australian men, are reflecting on things that they said in their youth and cringing on them and regretting it. where have those children learnt those ideas, where have they been cultivated, where have they been allowed to grow? And that is their schooling system." She said schools need to be "hyper-aware" of the culture they are fostering.

"Often young people do want to have set boundaries on their own use of technology, and are very sensitive to the fact that it can be great in some situations, and not great in others." "Young people are very savvy usually, with the range of blocking or reporting buttons or tools that are available on social media platforms," she said. "This is really a potential opportunity to try and understand what the challenges are for young people and to try and find that balance so that they still have access to the kinds of technologies that allow them to participate in their social world, which is really important for them, but at the same time can do so safely, and without harming themselves or others." "Part of being a parent in the 21st century is being able to parent wherever your child is, and that includes the digital space." "By and large, young people are not necessarily behaving or engaging in sharing that kind of content," Dr Humphry said, and suggested parents instead could use the issue to start a conversation.

My alma mater confronts scandal - yet again. A reunion with an old classmate forced me, too, to confront some hard truths.

He’s a better person than I was at the same age, despite – or really, because of – not having as many friends, not being as full of himself and not being over-rewarded for competitive success. If we are going to deal with the dark side of boys trying to outdo each other, we also have to come to a more mature and rational reckoning with all sides of the competitive encouragements of late-stage capitalism. What they are doing arises from an intoxicated over-exuberance that renders the perpetrators too stupid and too full of themselves to have the first idea of what they are doing. After a silence, I said, “I want to know – was I responsible for any of that?” He said with a sharpness that showed how hurt he still was, “I wouldn’t have you in my home if you were one of them.” The awful truth for me was, I honestly wouldn’t have known if I had or hadn’t been “one of them”. So, although all the usual suspects feed into today’s brand of excess, I really believe the enduring toxicity goes back to competition, group dynamics and boys performing for each other. The bully groups believe they are among the strong, whose group identity is consolidated in attacking the weak. When the blame is not placed on entitlement, toxic masculinity or social media, it is shifted back to those individuals and their parents. These incidents recur year after year, or the tiny sliver that is uncovered and reported, and responsibility becomes so diffuse that the remedy shrinks back to the simple punishment of the children involved. I have no idea whether adolescents today behave worse or better than in the past, nor whether teenage boys are any different from teenage girls. Attention has been drawn to the $10 million or so that taxpayers provide the school, including inadvertent state overfunding last year of some $1.8 million, on top of more than $80 million poured in by parents and donors. In the discussion of the most recent Knox Grammar disgrace (like many private schools, it can count scandal among its many traditions), much focus is on online malignancy, in this case in an app the boys used called Discord. The damage he revealed, even as an adult with a good life deriving from his mighty intelligence, his lovely young family and the educational headstart he’d had in life, was chilling.

"To be honest, I think that there should be an independent investigation into the running of Knox, and I also think there should be an independent body that oversees private schools," she said. Ms Newton said she isn't surprised by the "toxic culture that exists" at Knox Grammar and any school with this problem should be telling parents what is going on and educating students on the "devastating effects this kind of behaviour has".
